[PATCH v3] perf test: Improve pmu event metric testing

Ian Rogers
2020-05-13T21:29:39Z

Break pmu-events test into 2 and add a test to verify that all pmu metric
expressions simply parse. Try to parse all metric ids/events, skip/warn if
metrics for the current architecture fail to parse. To support warning
for a skip, and an ability for a subtest to describe why it skips.

Tested on power9, skylakex, haswell, broadwell, westmere, sandybridge and
ivybridge.
May skip/warn on other architectures if metrics are invalid. In particular
s390 is untested, but its expressions are trivial. The untested
architectures with expressions are power8, cascadelakex, tremontx, skylake,
jaketown, ivytown and variants of haswell and broadwell.

v3. addresses review comments from John Garry <john.garry@huawei.com>,
Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> and Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
<acme@kernel.org>.
v2. changes the commit message as event parsing errors no longer cause
the test to fail.
